During the upcoming summit, the Manchester United Academy U16 team will visit Hong Kong from 11 to 18 August for a week-long cultural and football exchange program, which will include two friendly matches.
The matches are set to be held at Mong Kok Stadium on 15 and 17 August. The first encounter will see the Manchester United Academy U16 squad face off against a Premier Youth League Select Team, while the second match will feature them competing against the Hong Kong, China U16 Representative Team.
Former Manchester United goalkeeper Peter Schmeichel and ex-defender Phil Jones will be visiting Hong Kong to participate in various activities, with each legend attending one of the friendly matches.
Nick Cox, Manchester United’s Director of Academy, remarked: “The Academy Summit in Hong Kong is consistently one of our most exhilarating and valuable international experiences. It provides a unique opportunity for our players and staff to develop through a rich blend of competitive matches, high-quality training, fan engagement, and cultural discovery. These experiences play a crucial role in shaping well-rounded individuals, both on and off the field.”
“We are extremely grateful to The Hong Kong Jockey Club for their ongoing support in making this remarkable initiative a reality.”
